The P tag is used to indicate paragraphs. The optional attribute ALIGN indicates the preferred alignment for the contents of this paragraph. Support for ALIGN=RIGHT is not as large as support for the other two. Note that ALIGN=LEFT is the default.

Notes:

Some browsers render extra whitespace when multiple empty paragraphs are used in sequence. This is not required by the specs, so do not count on this to get vertical whitespace in your document.
When a paragraph has the ALIGN=CENTER or ALIGN=RIGHT attribute, some browsers do not use the default alignment for the next paragraph unless this paragraph is explicitly closed.
